Chapter 1: Amor por Favor (Me Llamo Tina)

"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Tina sat in her study staring at the emptiness of Word document. She had excelled at being an author, of course erotica being her genre, and here she was suffering from an intense case of writer's block. Finally, she decided a break was much needed. Staring at her laptop would not move her forward any quicker, besides she had a craving for some good bean, and she knew just the place to get it.

She went to the bathroom to take a much-needed shower. As she undressed, she looked into her cheval mirror at herself. She had certainly outgrown her slouchy childhood form. She had filled out rather nicely. Taking Jairo's' capoeira classes, when she got older, paid off well. While she was quite attractive, she still hadn't mastered twerking, with a chuckle she continued to prepare.

She hopped in the shower and quickly washed up. Once she was dressed, she headed for the living room. As she passed the table in her foyer, she noticed a white paper on it. "Oh great. Another note from Jimmy Jr." Their lives seemed to have revolved around these notes. She picked it up and began to read: *Lisp "Hey Tina, had to work, won't be home til tomorrow. Signed Jimmy Jr." Tina dropped her hands and let her shoulders slump. She looked at her ceiling with disdain. "uuuuuuhhhhhh" She hadn't seen him in days due to "work". She wondered yet again what had changed between them and why she was feeling the same frustration she felt at 13.

She thought her dreams had come true when after graduation, Jimmy Jr. had asked her to be his steady girlfriend. Albeit they had been off/on up til that point. Everything had finally worked out for the best. They were living together, sort of, and to her, they had taken a huge step towards the future. However, Jimmy Jr. had continued to treat her like she didn't exist or mean anything. Sometimes even with disdain and annoyance. All he cared about was the dance troupe he'd created. He spent nearly every waking moment with them and didn't even bother to invite Tina to any of their shows.

Tina deep sighed and continued to put her jacket on. She wouldn't let Jimmy Jr's absence ruin her small getaway.
